Now that TiVo stock is down 20% after the settlement, let's just hope this time no one blames Charlie for not having TiVo investors' interest in mind. It is amazing till today there are still people buying into this TiVo patent's magic power. I thought during the TiVo v. Dish debate it was...

If I order 2 Hoppers and 4 Joes, do I get two slings built in? If so can two mobile devices play each Sling at the same time? If only one Sling for the account, can Sling play from both Hoppers? What is the minimum upload speed needed for Sling to work properly? As far as networking, can I...

VOOM wasn't in the right by any measure either. There was no programming at the end of the carriage on Dish, they were offered a 5-channel deal, a deal no other provider, including DirecTV would even consider valuable, but VOOM rejected it. Continued to carry VOOM would be throwing money down...

What could have been the proper way?

Having the history of the industry hiking prices on your side is not much a foresight, or much a hindsight. I suspect a lot of people like Dish for the innovative technologies and programming provided in the past. They came at certain expenses. If you want to be on the cutting edge, you need...

Actually I never said you subs all won:). A lot of these litigations were dragged on at the expense of the subs to some extent. You get the good, along with the ugly, in one package. I am happy for you of course, now you all can see dead people:)

Do you even have any concept of betting? A prediction of a settlement is like predicting we all going to die one day. All those litigations thrown against him, all had incredible odds of winning, but he managed to come out ahead most times. Settlement in his favor, against all odds, by...

You seem to be of the logic, since we can't say for sure we know exactly everything had happened, therefore there cannot be any bets others made that matters, even though some of the posters here predicted far more close than you two had ever been able to, because of your 100% one-sided bias...

Chances are they say $80M on paper just to save Cablevision's face. Charlie could have just got the $200M he offered after all.

$620M is smack in the middle of $200M and $1B, proved that analyst and his source was more accurate than your beloved star analyst which said very likely $1B, of course even more so than both of you two that claimed Charlie was going to craw to AMC ask for mercy. Who needs a break? Are you two...

Pretty sure any settlement has provision that AMC withdraws the case. It is a civil case, there is no case if parties ask to withdraw.

Didn't Mr.4069 say they needed the judge's approval first?:)

$700M cash including Dish getting some wireless licenses cover 45 DMAs. It is fair to say the VOOM's star attorney is crap crap crap crap:), at least as far as Mr.4069 is concerned.

The $500M Dish settled with TiVo included $300M it reserved for the lawsuit, and $30M a year for the following 7 years to license TiVo's patents. It wasn't any loss if you look at it this way, Dish actually got away with paying a lot less than had they simply, as most analysts suggested...

Interestingly had you bothered to analyze it more, both analysts are pretty much saying the same. One is likely saying a source indicated a settlement discussion is on-going to work out a deal between $200M and $1B. Another is saying it is very likely a settlement of $1B could be had. I don't...
